Gazlaaar Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Proper clam and quite mate, we're sitting up listening, you can hear a pin drop, it's proper exciting as we've heard a number of fish roll, only subtle, but I feel close to fish, if you know what I mean. Deadly quite, beautifully calm, what an exciting place to be phildalton1982 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazlaaar Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 fishing the same swim as last time gaz? good luck any way Yes mate, it's the one I'm concentrating all of my efforts on, I've seen and heard more fish in this area than anywhere else. Put it this way, and I know it goes against the grain, but I'd need a really good reason to fish anywhere else on the pit, you can just feel it in the pit of your stomach gjc1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazlaaar Posted September 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Nothing to report as of yet this morning, I've been up a while, the wind has picked up, it's slightly warmer, and that chilli from last night is definitely making the inside of my brolly warm lol spr1985 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazlaaar Posted September 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Back home now, no fish, bur the show was good last night, it felt so good, but as fishing is sometimes nothing materialised. Never mind, next time will be my 13th session on there so fingers crossed I'm already looking forward to getting back muftyboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazlaaar Posted September 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Next session plans To change round the baiting up, I have been putting in a kilo of bait before I fish every session so far, so now I'm just going to fish and do the baiting when I'm done. It's gone into the areas for 7 or 8 weeks now and I think it's enough to see me through. I may up the baiting a bit, I'm not sure yet, I'll see how it feels. I've gone back to 20 millers just for hookbaits and slightly longer rigs. Now I'm starting to think about winter coming I've got a couple of bits to get, nothing major but I want to be prepared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjc1 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 not sure if this is really the right place but ! aye just a bit gaz ! cant do interactive bank though im a bit of a technophobe and only do dumb phones ,im just really getting a feel for the place, though ive spent a fair while just looking around before the fishing started ! ( i was hoping to start around may/june but building work unexpectedly started and i had to delay) and i have settled on an area that i know has and does produce fish occasionally " recon im wearing a trapper badge " pretty much agree with whats been said about baits by yourself and big common and settled on particles " as ive a lot of confidence in them from when i last fished for carp 30 odd years back and happy to stick with them for the duration plus its a big water with little pressure on the carp "or other species"from large quantities of boillies or other hnv baits so its natural ish ,whether this is the right approach or not time will tell ! theory behind the particles is i can use a variety of particle hook baits or fish a nut based boillie over the top (so it has a link to the basic background taste) giving a bait size the fish are used to ! im pre baiting twice a week regularly with about 1.5kg each time and generally trying to fish the morning and day after the pre bait and putting in about 1/2 a kg on each spot on leaving ! its taken a couple of sessions to get the feel of the tackle again so it becomes second nature ,and something i dont have to think about !,(i spent a day on a commercial just to give me a day casting,baiting up and handling fish again which helped ),its getting closer now to the stage where i can start thinking of doing a few over nighters ,im fortunate that i can get out mid week as despite the size of the water there are very few accessible swims and im limited due to a few mobility issues i will get there eventually no major rush ,im just enjoying being back on the water fishing for carp again.im having another session monday and ill get out later in the week as well ,each time out gets better and i discover something new and fresh about the water carpmachine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
